Took my oldest grandchild on a date. She ordered an adult entree and devoured it! She thoroughly enjoyed the creme brulee pancakes, and she usually does not enjoy overly sweet items. She already cooks for herself and her siblings and tends to be quite discerning. Eggs Up Grill is always clean, and the staff appear happy. Our server was a delight. I'm sorry, I don't remember her name read more

We decided to try this place one day. We figured for how busy they are it might be good. It is Jacksonville, every new place that opens is swarmed for a while. The morning we went was pretty busy. It took a while to get seats at the bar. Also took quite some time to just get waters and a coffee. Another wait to order our food. And then the long wait for our food to come out. As already stated, it was fairly new and very busy. We just didn't expect the whole process to take that much time. It has a promising environment with plenty of seating and menu items to choose from. Our meals were ok. Nothing to rave about. We probably won't return, but who knows. Worth a try. read more

We should have checked the reviews before we went there ..We were so excited to try a new restaurant for breakfast, but sadly, the service, the speed and the food was all a huge disappointment.. ​Too bad, this place has a lot of potential. read more

Nice place in Jacksonville, NC. The place has an amazing breakfast spread. The breakfast was delicious. It's busy and a little slow, but worth it. Lots of space and clean. I will be here until Sunday, so I'll come back. read more

Eggs Up Grill - A Classic: grits, cheese eggs, turkey and turkey bacon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

Another example of a review I've written before but mysteriously yelp has deleted it for some reason. So I'll keep it short (for me). We did not realize this is a chain which isn't a problem in and of itself however, it's rare that chain breakfast restaurants are worth our money or time. In this case we felt they missed on every possible opportunity. Service was sketchy, we had to ask them to take our order, remind them four times for an item they kept forgetting to bring out, they burned one item, served it anyway and the waitress apologized. When she should have simply not served it at all. If I was the manager I would have been ashamed of what came out but if our orders were typical they may simply be used to being mediocre. We were in mid week and there were not a lot of customers. So we were surprised that they had run out of several things on the menu. That's simply bad management, they could have gone next door to the grocery store and bought the missing items. I had a sandwich which was just ordinary bread with almost no meat, and two small pieces of wilted leafy greens that did not even cover 1/4 of the sandwich. And this was the special. It was dry, over priced, and there was nothing on it, I mean nothing but a single bite of meat. Then getting some things wrong that a breakfast joint should do really well left us both thinking we won't come back. For example the scrambled eggs were terrible, how does a restaurant good up scrambled eggs? Literally anywhere does a better job. This is basically a Denny's with a smaller menu and lower quality. Skip this place and find an ihop or Metro diner with both just a little down the street. read more

Overpriced minimal diner food in my humble opinion. It doesn't have a local feel but a private equity scaling up nationwide feel to it.

My fiance and I went this morning for the first time. The waitress was a big help when asked about menu items. The ambiance was oddly quiet. It felt like it was "missing something". My fiancé says the steak and eggs platter was predictable. He could taste that his eggs were cooked in close proximity of the crab cakes. I enjoyed my egg scramble with the crab cakes. It was tasty and not overloaded with hollidaise sauce. Also, worth taking in a to-go box! We will be back! read more

Eggs Up Grill - Steak & Eggs Crab-ocado Scrambler - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

I came in on March 25th for a girls breakfast with my 10 week old, and I'm honestly so disappointed I don't even know where to start. I had been here before and was the one who suggested we come, which makes this even more upsetting. I rarely ever leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel like I have to. From the beginning, multiple things were wrong our lattes came out incorrectly, a pancake was messed up, and my friend even had an eggshell in her scrambled eggs. At that point, we were trying to brush it off because our waitress, Barb, was so kind & great. But then I cut into my egg white omelet. Inside the spinach, there was a dead green bug. I've worked in food service before, so I understand that things can happen and I approached it calmly. We let the staff know and the plate was taken back. We were then told the manager would take $10 off the bill. At that point, I was still sitting there hungry. I'm a nursing mom, and now I'm in a position where I have to leave and find somewhere else to eat after already paying for a meal. It was frustrating but I wasn't going to argue I had already decided I just wouldn't come back. One of my friends politely asked to speak to the manager since we hadn't seen her at all. When Beatrice came over my friend calmly explained that given there was literally a dead bug inside my food, my entrée should at the very least be taken off the bill. Her response was honestly shocking. She told us that the bugs come from outside, that it was probably on our clothes, and that it probably fell into the food. I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense. How does a bug fall off someone, end up inside the spinach of an omelet, and then die there? It felt like we were being blamed for something that was clearly a kitchen issue, and it was honestly insulting. They did eventually remove the entrée, but by that point the damage was done. The way the situation was handled made it so much worse than it needed to be. To top it all off, as we were getting ready to leave, there was loud yelling and commotion coming from the kitchen hooting and hollering to the point that other tables were looking around, confused and uncomfortable. It just added to how unprofessional the entire experience felt. read more

First if all, loved having Lark as our server. Thanks for taking good care of us! Do yourself a favor and try the strawberry and creme little donuts as an appetizer! So yummy! This is a cute restaurant with friendly staff. I had the Berry and banana pancakes. Not as yummy looking as the menu pic. The pancakes are fluffy and tender. read more

They are a bit hidden and I think still not known well enough. They should be. The place was clean. It has 80s kinda diner feel. To me anyway. The staff was great from start to finish. The food was great. It was seasoned well and all cooked nicely. It came to the table hot and pretty fast. Well definitely be back. Stay the way you are and don't change pls. read more

We ate here on 12/16/25 about 9:30 am. Everything was great except that I got "Glutened". I was going to just order bacon (when my partner had a full meal), but the server said they had gluten free pancakes and she could get me a "side" single pancake. I was so excited! It was delicious, which should have been my first clue. The bacon was done perfectly. I started burping up my breakfast before we left the restaurant. Fortunately I'm not Celiac, just sensitive to Gluten, so all it did was make me very sick overnight, and well into today. I don't plan to go back, but I'd be curious if they could figure out if their GF pancakes have gluten, or if I just got a normal pancake. read more

The foods and the staff are fine, but the waiting for the food is the worst I ever had in my life ( sit down until you get your food at least 1 hr if not longer). Went there three times, all three time is the a long wait, understandable if they are just open, but it is not the case here. read more

Very lovely experience. I placed a take out order over the phone. Neziah was very nice over the phone and in person. The staff seating and greeting people were also very welcoming and polite. Our food was great! Nice portions and well seasoned. The homefry bowl was amazing, a little bit of everything! The shrimp and grits had lots a flavor(please note do not expect local shrimp) Everything was packaged with care and with all utensils we needed. Definitely a must try for a pleasant and fulfilling breakfast! read more

The service of this place is NEXT LEVEL. Everyone was engaged and happy, what anyone would want to expect at any restaurant. The vibe of the place was very breakfast (of course) nice hole in wall type diner feel. I seen people from all walks of life. The place is expensive for what they provide, id say on the higher side. I ordered the country fried steak, I'm a fan of them and have to try them anytime they are on the menu. The main part (country fried steak) was so so, it had like a fish tasting breading, like what you would expect on deep fried fish- may be the oil they use. The portion was really sad honestly, my 2 eggs were bigger. The eggs were perfectly cooked. If you want country fried steak drive another 10 mins and go to the kettle diner. If you like seasoned hash browns/home fries. This is the place! I fell in love with the home fries- a cajun seasoning- like you would find at a boil. Scrumptious. I originally didn't get my biscuits but when i mentioned it they brought them right out in mins. I tell you what, I'm glad i mentioned it. They are frozen when ordered, thawed out and when ordered they are buttered and cooked on the grill! Not an oven. They are more moist than most biscuits, but def a cant miss to try. The gravy was kind of a hit or miss depending on how you like yours, i like mine more gravy complimenting the sausage and this hit the mark. I wouldn't pass it up if i was in town but maybe get something other than the steak. Great place! read more

When I saw Eggs Up Grill was coming to Jacksonville we were super excited!! The decor in this restaurant was super cute, bright, cheerful, with farmhouse decor. Super clean too. Walking in the front door we weren't sure what to do but one of the staff members hanging around the hostess stand took us quickly to our booth, and after a few minutes our waitress came over to take our drink order. I ordered the hot Cafe Mocha which I've order at other locations. It took it a while to come out but when it did come out it wasn't as hot as I expected and not as sweet as other locations. It was still pretty good tho! Next up the Croissant-Style Donuts came out and my husband and I were in heaven!! They were definitely my favorite part of the whole meal, melt in your mouth goodness. I ordered the Southern Bowl which I'd rate as a 7/10. The sausage, scrambled eggs w cheese, grits, and gravy were well seasoned and delicious. The first home fry I tried was perfection, followed by other bites of home fries that were hard and old tasting, like they had mixed yesterday's home fries with today's. My husband had the same experience with his home fries he had in his loaded home fry bowl. Maybe they were just having an off morning? Either way we will be back to give them another try!! It's so nice to have a new breakfast spot in Jacksonville!! read more

I came in hungry, but didn't leave that way. Good food. Bright, clean, and brand spanking new. Only their 3rd day open, they were packed and warned me on entry that the kitchen was behind, and orders were coming out slowly, but I was in no hurry and thought the food was worth it, though the gentleman sitting beside me at the counter finally gave up and left. The 4-egg Texas Farmhouse Omelet was delicious and filling. My aging gringo stomach was a little worried about the jalapenos, but they were mild and did not disturb the force. The generous meal came with toast, and I added a side of cheese grits (that were just okay) and a coffee. Sorry. Was too hungry to get a picture but take my word, it was a generous meal! Looked good and was most satisfying, leaving me eager to try something on the lunch menu. Two days later, I went back, arriving at 1pm (an hour before scheduled closing time) to an equally or more packed house, and ordered a Turkey Avocado BLT, chose home fries for my side and added an iced latte. Again, I didn't leave hungry and thoroughly enjoyed the food. And hey, this time I have photographic evidence. See above or below or wherever those things are, but very satisfying in flavor and quantity, and not excessive at about $12 for the sandwich and side and $4 for the iced latte. Had I been in a rush, seeing the packed restaurant with some still waiting to be seated an hour before their 2PM scheduled closing time, I probably would have turned and left, but was able to take a seat at the counter with no waiting - well, no waiting to be seated anyway. It did take almost 50 minutes to get my food on this second visit and had I been in a rush, I might have been irritated, but thankfully I was not, and staff was universally welcoming and apologetic, and given how packed they were, how fast they were moving, and this being only their 5th day in operation, I wasn't. Give them a little time to work the kinks out. Those people were working HARD, and this locally owned franchise is a great addition to our breakfast and lunch options in Jacksonville. Highly recommend, but you might want to arrive well before noon for the time being. read more

We had a early Sunday breakfast, we were served quickly and promptly, bathroom was super clean and gave a wood ambiance which I loved to see since most bathrooms are grey and steel. Reasonably priced on the lower side for basic breakfast which although basic tasted great! We ordered two egg combos and split the apple pancakes. I will say the apple pancakes glaze when it cooled down gave a caramel sticky texture which was not the best feeling on our teeth but I gave 5/5 stars because the taste was great, service was amazing and restaurant was sparkly clean! We will return soon, we love supporting locally owned read more

This is an update as I have gone in 3 times total now and has been several months since my last post about this place. The Second time i went i got the waffle sandwich. The place was slammed, , but yet I saw food simply sitting in the kitchen window. Their expediter sucks at their job. I watched my waffles sit under a warm light like its getting a tan for a solid 10 minutes. Waffles are notorious to cool of fast so they need to be taken to guest right away for the full enjoyment. I was very disappointing. Then the 3rd time I went was yesterday for breakfast. There was tons of tables open but yet a wait as it appears they have a hiring issue. Again i watch food sitting under the lights far too long. Any kitchen staff knows to get that food moving. Coffee was watered down so don't pay their price for it. Hubby got the eggs Benedict and sadly they did not know how to poach an egg. So i complained and sent it back. Sad that ever single time i have tried this place there was an issue. I will try the new Biscuitville that is being built a half mile down the road. If that doesn't work out then Metro Diner it is. read more

Eggs Up Grill is such a cute brunch spot with a cute and refreshing aesthetic. The server we had was so friendly and nice and helpful! We ordered the Crab Cake Benedict, a Bowl, and the Caramel Apple Pancakes. Honestly, the only thing that would've been something to write home about was the pancakes. When we go back, most likely won't order the other two. Thankfully, the menu is big enough to try other options. read more

For now I have to give a low review as we waited for an incredibly long time and didn't get sat. Also, looking and watching, it took a really long time for the tables to be served food. They still have a lot of kinks to work out before going back. They looked understaffed as a lot of the tables weren't sat. We headed to metro diner instead. I would love for Eggs Up to take off and be successful. read more

The service was ok but thr home fries were to spicy. I will not be going back there ever. They don't give you back the correct change from paying cash.
